Raw vs cooked
 

Rawcelery only belongs in two foods.
1. the above mentioned libation
2. tuna fish salad with a bit of mayo on fresh rye bread.

Cooked it is a very different story.
1. it is part of the holy trinity of cooking along with onion and garlic as the basis for many dishes including my own highly acclaimed tomato sauce for pasta.
2. it has a nice flavor and texture when cooked and tends to add flavor.]
3. celery salt if very nice in certain dishes
4. celery seed is used from time to time in what I can not remember.

you will never see me reaching for raw celery unless there really is NOTHING else to eat at all.

I don't think we could be friends. :D

Here too. I like it overall, but when they start sticking it in everything including cheeseburgers it gets seriously weird.

Disgusting, vile, horrid stuff raw. Bad texture, nasty taste -- what bigger turn-off could there be? But, cooked....celery adds flavor to many dishes.

I would categorize celery as 'a necessary evil.'

I do. Raw celery stalks and vinegar. Yum.

Likewise Cordelli. Though, I am happy to jump on the anti-Cilantro bandwagon.

I like celery, both raw and cooked.

I can eat it plain, in soups, in salads, or with dressing or sauce cradled in the stalk itself.

However, I do not like celery-flavored soda.

I have never tried it, but I would tend to believe that the diet version would be even worse.

I am really partial to celery. Just depends what I am eating them with.

Cheeseburger is one where I don't like celery to be included. Agreed that it is just weired.

not a huge fan of celery either. it just has a bad taste. i can only tolerate it in SMALL portions of tuna fish but thats about it.

Not a fan of Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray, but a BIG fan of celery....add some peanut butter, and you've got the perfect snack.

only to stir a bloody mary.
